Tuscany Sangiovese Blend

A nice Chianti to pair with our build your own pizza night. I pulled this out of one of my EuroCaves but, can’t for the life of me remember how it came to be in my possession. 🤔From a good vintage that showed nice, ripe sweet & sour dark cherries, some darker berries, a fair amount of baking spices; cinnamon, vanilla, clove and a touch of nutmeg, dark spice, gravely crushed minerals, red & dark fresh florals, nice, round acidity with a good finish but lacked complexity throughout. Photos of, Tenute Piccinini, one of their vineyards, harvested Sangiovese grapes and the Estate wall with branding. — 5 days ago

Have not had Brunello from Biondi-Santi before and an amazing dinner at Vini e Vecchi Sapori in Florence was a perfect occasion (esp for $70 under US retail). Definitely could use more time, but accessible now with a bit of air and the right pairing. Dark red fruit on the nose, quite tannic but integrated, and an excellent finish with great acid. — 6 days ago

This is a real sleeper. Sneaky concentration and complexity on the back with very rustic tobacco ash, mineral and woodsmoke character. Even a hint of black fruit showing up on the finish. Really fine effort. — 8 days ago

This is simply fantastic. In the early going it displays laser-like focus and precision with impeccably clean contours and silky, creamy elegance on the palate. Not an ounce of fat on this wine. Tart cherry and raspberry flavors play wonderfully with subtle spice, tobacco, mint and orange rind character. Truly fine Brunello such as this is nearly impossible to put down despite the young tannin. This is going to be a stunning wine with more bottle development which I cannot wait to revisit. — 8 days ago

We pulled the pin on a green banana, but its pedigree shines thru. Decanted in the hope that our felony crime would be forgiven, however, this wine showed little mercy. The nose was a giveaway with espresso: drum tight, and so unforgiving. Underripe tannins, with subtle fruits and pronounced herbs dominate the mid-palate. Young and boisterous, this is crying out for bottle age. Thanks @Mo Salem for the share. — 14 hours ago
